Chapter 142: Help
In the tenth year of Wanli, Dayun had not yet arrived in Jiayuguan, and he didn't know what happened at that time.
Not to mention Dayun, Tong Deng didn’t know anything outside the pass, and the civil and military officials in the court didn’t know anything.
Even the enthronement was confused, because it was the same for the emperor.
After the death of the kings of the Western Regions, did their descendants come to the court to request enthronement? They asked for it; have they paid tribute to the court after a few years? They paid tribute.
That's all.
Especially, even if the countries in the Western Regions make trouble again, they will have to pay tribute to the court after the trouble, and if the king dies, wouldn’t he come to ask for a title?
Then what do he care about?
In fact, this problem was not until Wanli, the only emperor after Zhu Di who was able to send people to the Western Regions to investigate intelligence, and found that there was something wrong with it.
In the ninth year of Wanli, the Lumi area sent envoys to pay tribute... But on the other side, the Western Military Office on the sea was already doing business with Lumi, and they did send envoys to pay tribute.
But that was Suleiman I of the Jiajing Dynasty. In order to deal with the threat from the European Union and Persia, the Ottoman urgently needed to find allies in the East that could threaten Persia. A businessman just happened to bring back the news that there was a wealthy and powerful country in the East.
As soon as Suleiman collected information about the East, he got all the news from the Wuzong period, and there were three amazing keywords:
Larger than Persia, the legendary Khitans, the emperor is a secret.
General Zhu Shou had a naughty act and refused to let the people eat pork. The Ottoman businessmen at that time thought he was a secret.
The best natural and good ally will decide you, and you will pay tribute. This is just a form. As long as you can form an alliance and threaten Persia, who cares so much?
As a result, after the Ottoman 90-person tribute team arrived in the Ming Dynasty, they did not even see the emperor according to the tribute procedure of sending beggars. They were given some bottles and jars and let them go. When they arrived in Ganzhou, they caught the Mongols invaded and helped defend the city and nine people died.
Later, no official sent people came over there.
No one knew that the so-called Lu fans, Arabs, Hami, Samarkand, and Turpan five heads paid tribute in the ninth year of Wanli, were all handled by the Hami Ma Heima in front of Dayun.
He came up and scolded Dayun, but Dayun was not afraid. Although he was just a small guard of Jiayuguan, he took the governor and the imperial edict and took a look and then returned, saying, "That's right, please open the city. When the heavenly army marched west, Hami could be the vanguard."
Hami Ma Heima looked around and stood there with her hands in her arms: "Western Expedition? I didn't ask for help!"
In fact, in the Western Regions, such imperial edicts really have no value, because everyone has it. As a general of the governor, may be a fireman, and the dignified Aqimu may be a commander. Even the Khan's family must have a general of the Ming cavalry to rule the country, otherwise the Khan's position would be uneasy.
But this has nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty itself.
For example, Hamima Heima has lost his inheritance. Everyone invited a leader with inheritance from Samarkand or Yarkand, but there is a general in the country who has real power to do something about civil strife? Just say that he did not have the imperial edict of the Ming Dynasty, and this leader is illegal.
In order to prevent this from happening, everyone made an imperial edict from the distant east as a family heirloom.
The king wants you to enthrone, but when your army leaves Jiayuguan, I must gather my accomplices to ambush them - the best Ming Dynasty is to be unable to see it.
The same is true for the governor and edict of Hami Ma Heima. They all became relatives and were related to their relatives. They counted their ancestors, but they did not obey the control of Tubo Khan, and occupied Hami himself. They asked the Ming Dynasty to entrust him because they were afraid that Tubo Ma Heima would cause trouble for him, so they obtained the position of the governor and edict of Hami Guard.
The border generals of the Ming Dynasty were again otakus, and they might not necessarily leave the seclusion if they ask for help, let alone not ask for help.
Suddenly, Dayun came out, frightening Hami Mahei and angry. He didn't know what to do for a moment. He instinctively wanted to kill all the intermediate Ming officers and his subordinates in front of him, and closed the city gates and asked for help from Tubo and Yarkand Khan.
Although guarding against Tubo in your heart is like guarding against thieves, it is only a thief at most. If you really can't accept it, it's a great deal of paying taxes every year. When the Ming Dynasty came out of seclusion, it would be a disaster and a beast, which would be a fatal threat to everyone. If you accidentally do not be the city lord.
"Your Excellency still doesn't understand why Da was lurking into the city, rather than entering the city as an envoy?"
"Either open the city now or let the heavenly army capture it."
Although Dayun's command of more than a dozen Liangzhou soldiers who entered the city with him were arrested, they looked very calm, and looked at Hami Ma Heima like looking at a piece of chopping board fish, and raised their hand and said, "Or escape from the city, just now."
"This is a must-pass place for the heavenly army. It is still time to run west with family and wealth."
Hami Ma's black-ma's face suddenly changed color and said with her hands behind her back: "Your skills don't look like a little official. I have captured you and persuaded the Ming army to go back with your life."
"You can't do it."
There was no turbulence on Dayun's face. Although his shoulders were escorted, Dayun's face was not panicked. Instead, he asked confidently: "How many defenders are there in the city, four hundred, you have only captured a dozen of us. There are two hundred beggars in the Ming Dynasty in the city. Go to the city to take a look. Thirty thousand heavenly troops have arrived."
Even though he was a short man in intelligence, a tall man in military affairs, Dayun was not afraid of anything: "You threatened the people of the Tianjun to send them out. No one in this city can survive. Now, open the city gate. You are still the general of the Ming Dynasty. You can still get a reward if you go to war. Which one is more important, the city lord will consider it yourself."
He basically didn't tell the truth.
It is six hundred miles from Shazhou to Hami, and it is difficult to supply water and food along the way. It is impossible for the court to send 30,000 troops out of the customs. In fact, only 3,000 people came out of the customs. However, there was a group of Qi Jiguang's troops stationed troops in the Oasis 200 miles north.
As for the two hundred beggars and Gisbians in the city, it is even more nonsense. Dayun just saw many beggars and Gisbians in the city before, and just said it casually.
But this intimidation really works.
Not to mention Hami Ma Heima, even the two soldiers escorting Dayun had a lighter force on their shoulders after hearing this.
The city lord asked someone to go to the city wall to check it out, but the messenger ran back soon. There were indeed a large number of people marching in the east of the city, and they also carried artillery.
"I brought the cannons out. General Shuo, the four-gate Xuanfu, ate dust at Jiayu Pass for three years, and this city could not stop it."
Hami Ma Heima thought it through in a moment, and smiled and asked someone to let Dayun and his gang go, and said with a smile: "General, don't blame me, I am worried that you are the one sent by the son-in-law of the Ola. Now I know it is the Daming Tianjun. Since I have been appointed as the emperor to the governor, how can it be difficult for the Tianjun? I will immediately ask someone to look at the city gate and prepare the baggage required by the army."
"What else do I have to do besides these?"
